I get your point and yes, any average commercial radio station would play artists from every age range as long as the songs are catchy and popular. BUT when it comes to BBC radio stations, they all have their own solidified identities. If I tune in on BBC Radio 1 I know I'll be listening to the latest music trends and artists, and if you're over 25 you might not know most of them. NB they'll still overplay Beyoncé and Taylor Swift though, as they are some of the very few "old" artists that still connect with younger generations. Tuning in on BBC Radio 2, you'll be listening to Michael Bublé, Kelly Clarkson, Justin Timberlake, and all the new "mum's music". If Britney released new music I wouldn't expect Radio 1 to play it that much since she doesn't appeal to kids these days, but I know they would on Radio 2.
Young people still listen to the radio, or at least they do in the UK where 'radio culture' is still strong, particularly with BBC stations. People listen to it on the go, at the office and even at home, contrary to other countries where people only turn it on in the car if they don't have carplay lol
